Moss was a freshman tight end for the Wolfpack in 2016, catching six passes for 49 yards and one touchdown. He is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery but must sit out the 2017 season anyway under NCAA transfer rules.

Offensive coordinator Matt Canada's presence was a key factor in Moss' recruitment at LSU. Canada was NC State's offensive coordinator when Moss initially committed to the Wolfpack. That was prior to Canada's firing and subsequent departure for Pittsburgh.

Canada was a Broyles Award finalist in his lone season at Pitt and the only offensive coach among the five finalists.
